Bug#827562: task-xfce-desktop: Depends on light-locker Should Be Recommends
Package: task-xfce-desktop
Version: 3.35
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
task-xfce-desktop has grown a dependency on the package
light-locker, which is billed as a lightweight alternative to xscreensaver.
I suspect this is to track a similar change in xfce4-session, which recently
also added a dependency for light-locker.
However, xfce4-session only Recommends light-locker; it does not
Depends on it. light-locker at the moment doesn't seem to play well with
xscreensaver, and is something of a nuisance. For those of us who prefer
xscreensaver, light-locker gets in the way.
I suggest that task-xfce-desktop reduce the dependency on
light-locker from Depends to Recommends.
